Proposition Summary

TRANSFER OF FUNDS BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. LEGISLATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. The Constitution provides exceptions from the lending of credit and gift restrictions for the making of specified temporary transfers of funds to counties, cities, districts, and other political subdivisions to meet their obligations incurred for maintenance purposes. Presently funds so transferred may not exceed 85 percent of "taxes" accruing to the political subdivision and must be replaced from "taxes" accruing before any other obligations are met from "taxes." This amendment modifies the limitation to 85 percent of "anticipated revenues" and requires repayment from "revenues" accruing before any other obligations are met from "revenues." Summary of Legislative Analyst's estimate of net state and local government fiscal impact: No direct state or local fiscal impact. As described in Analyst's estimate, when larger amounts of money are loaned it could reduce the interest costs of the borrowing local agency and, conversely, reduce the interest that would normally otherwise be earned by the nonborrowing local agencies.
